“There is no world in existence where i do not come for you.” IKTR Trystan

Starting the chapter w “Evie had always been more generous with her words, no matter the consequence, which meant it was a stroke of luck that most of the things that came out of Evie’s mouth were endearing.“ and ending w “yes. Evie had always been generous with her words. And Gideon feared the consequences had finally arrived.” Is vicious

“Her fingers touched his lips, and the tension began seeping from his shoulders when he spotted her smile. "No, I- It's okay. I'm-I'm glad you had someone to talk to about, um—it. It's good to confide in people about big life events. Not that it was a big, um...event."
Trystan stared flatly. "I spent a month imprisoned with no light. And I promise you this impacted my life in a far greater fashion." CHEESING

“‘I carry you like my own personal Time Machine, as I put on my lipstick, smile, and head out to the party.’ It’s a line by one of her favorite poets, a woman named Donna Carnes, whose husband went out for sale in San Francisco Bay and has not been seen since. I love it too. How many parties have I gone to over the years, and laughed, and had a good time, while still managing to hold Denise close.”

“what's different is the women on Twitter and Instagram who are so unitedly over this shit they got handcuffs on the Oscar-winning movie producer and a grabby senator out of Congress in the middle of his term. It's a climate that assigns more value to my side of the story too. Not that I responded to any of the interview requests. The risk was still too great that the media might buy and sell my story for parts.”

“I marveled at the pointlessness of it all, at the timing which did feel pointed in its own way. Why not a year ago when there was nothing to take from me? it was like he had scoured the beach for the woman most flush with life.”
